High water in Snoqualmie Falls occurs following a period of heavy rains that is from November through March. During high water, the falls take on a curtain form. The main views are from the side of the falls, with a fence separating visitors from the edge of a cliff. This area has picnic tables and benches, and a small grassy meadow called the Centennial Green, At the crest there is a lodge named salish, where you can get good food or stay the night.
